Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaThe blinds need replacing. They were mouldy and did not black out the light. They had been fixed with temporary measures. The washing machine didn't spin. As a group going away for sport, we take this type of accommodation so we can launder our own clothes. We did notify the management but it wasn't able to be fixed. Main bathroom also had a bit of mould, and there was a damp musty smell.
Property was spacious and quite comfortable. It had everything that we needed for our short stay. Close to all required facilities. We had an issue with WiFi and the internet, but that was dealt with promptly. As was a missing blind panel.

AustraliaMaster bedroom desperately needs curtains. The street light shines directly into your eyes & there is a lack of privacy both in the master bedroom and living room from such shabby blinds that are full of gaps- please spend a few hundred $$ and put some curtains up- master at a minimum!! The old oriental ornaments in the cabinet & desk in the living room with old cds/books are just gathering dust & make the place feel less clean- they take away from the place rather than add anything positive to the space.
Excellent location, love being able to step off the balcony into the garden and straight to sawtell beach. Easy check in. Good layout of the apartment. Kitchen well stocked with appliances. Good value/appropriate price.

AustraliaLack of curtains, especially in master bedroom. Blinds have gaps as all blinds do so it was bright sun beaming in from 6am and the rsl light across the road was flickering for two nights so that beamed into the master, curtains would solve this. Could just de clutter things a bit- the desk in the living room for example has a 1995 & 1997 street directory, a 1977 cd, along with some dusty ornaments scattered in dining room cabinet- just dust collectors - just toss them out or donate the worthwhile stuff- it’s cleaner when so many guests coming and going! These things took away from the space rather than added anything worthwhile!
Excellent excellent location with access to the apartment from the front and backyard. Quiet. Large living space and good size bedrooms. Clean and comfortable. Easy to check in & check out.

AustraliaDated, curtains are in bad repair. Hot water tank insufficient for a family of four . Sliding doors did not slide. It was hard to unlock the front door on most occasions and the key provided is bent so we are not the only ones who had trouble. Kitchen was quite dirty the fridge was dirty and smelly. There was a large walk in closet area but no shelving and only a handful of very poor quality hangers.
Location and quite large. And good parking space

United KingdomThe pictures do not match the interior in the living room and the main bedroom. There was mould on the blinds (no curtains) and mould in both the bathrooms. The living room wasn't as comfortable as it looked in the pictures, with only a two seater sofa and 3 thin round chairs. Light was leaking through the blinds in the main bedroom.
The location was perfect, close to the beach and also close to the town. There's also underground parking which was perfect for rainy days. The facilities were great with the fully kitted out kitchen, washing machine and tumble drier.

AustraliaWe may have just not located it but if not, a stove top frying pan so you didn’t have to get the large electric fry pan out for cooking small items such as eggs.
The property was centrally located yet still offered privacy. We walked to beaches, the rock pool, the pub and restaurants. We were also impressed by the unit’s size, lay out and inclusions. It had every thing you could possibly need for your stay.
